Top-quality Live Streaming in Your Choice of Format
Whether viewed through a PC or set-top box, IP-based streaming content delivery is redefining broadcast. Bridging the worlds of traditional video and IP networks, your media encoding and streaming platforms are key points along the critical path between you and your viewers. With StreamZ Live, the same exceptional output quality, robust reliability and efficient operation that leading studios and networks depend on daily in our multi-fuction StreamZ studio encoders are available in a dedicated live platform. StreamZ Live is ideal fo rmulti-channel installation, and supports distribution channels from IPTV to webcasting and mobile devices.

StreamZ live encoders are available with a choice of encoding formats to reach your desired platforms, from Adobe Flash (H.264/AVC or On2 VP6), Microsoft Silverlight (VC-1, Windows Media) and QuickTime (e.g. Darwin server) powered web experiences to IPTV set-top boxes and mobile phones.

StreamZ Live encoders feature a comprehensive range of analog and digital input options, and dual-channel models (available for select formats) support capture and encoding from two distinct input sources simultaneously. HD-compatible models accept SD, 720p, 1080p and 1080i input sources, with output streams up to full 1920x1080 or down-converted to lower frame sizes and rates depending on the chosen compression format.

Even the most compelling content can fall flat if delivered at poor quality, and the renowned quality of the StreamZ family ensures that your streams will exceed your audiences' expectations. StreamZ Live's advanced video pre-processing features include motion adaptive de-interlacing, scaling, filtering and video noise reduction, delivering superior streaming quality and enabling the most efficient use of bandwidth in the compressed result. StreamZ Live also featires hardware-based graphic overlay and video proc amp controls, letting you refine the incoming source and add branding such as a log to the outgoing stream.

The integrated Stream Live software provides an operator-friendly interface for configuring StreamZ Live's top-quality encoding and streaming capabilities. Encoding parameters from frame sizes and bit rates to advanced codec options can be configured, and pre-processing settings can be interactively adjusted. Multiple encoding and streaming configuration profiles can be stored, enabling easy recall of parameters for one-click operation. Persistent Streaming mode enables streaming to start automatically upon power-up with the current parameters - just one part of StreamZ Live's dependable reliability.

Trusted reliability
StreamZ Live encoders feature robust reliability to meet the unforgiving demands of live streaming. To bolster reliability even further, or to streamline multi-channel operations, multiple StreamZ Live encoders can be combined with the scalable Digital Rapids Broadcast Manager software for enterprise-level management, remote control, monitoring and fault tolerance. Broadcast Manager centralizes management and control of multiple live streaming encoders with features including scheduling, automated fallover,multi-channel confidence monitoring, upstream router control and alert notifications.
